Grateful that least reminded me that I have to do the same thing for my car very soon!
Grateful for wrapping up part of my insurance issues for a couple of months, anyway.
Grateful I am so much less anxious today than I have been. Grateful I am sober.

It was hard to be grateful this morning waking up to news of another mass shooting. A reminder there will always be chaos and senseless violence in the world. I am grateful that even though there is darkness, there is light also. There is more light in the world than there is darkness. There are more people wanting to do the right thing and help others than people who hurt and kill. I do have compassion for these people too, though, because they must be struggling so much inside. I am grateful for heroes and first responders, people donating blood and rushing to support others. I am grateful that there are politicians and folks out there trying to enact gun sense laws and improvements to our mental health system. I am grateful that there is always a lesson we can learn and we can become stronger humans through tragedy. Grateful for my safety at home.

Grateful to be back on SR after focusing on AA for the first few months of this, my actual sobriety.

Grateful for a good day and a home that finally includes music.
Grateful that I'm able to enjoy things again.

Goodnight SR

I will be grateful for this today, and know that God is watching over me at my night job where the reality of darkness is greater.

Missy, welcome back!

Aly and least, it's time for me to get my truck in next weekend for a service, I'm grateful for the reminder!

It's one of my favorite quotes too. Anything Gandhi is good.

Tonight I'm grateful to have Billie to love and care for. After losing Jack, I'd be lost without a dog to love. Thank God for Billie and her devotion.

Grateful to be the bigger person than I felt like being over an issue.

Grateful I got to take it easy today. I was not so much tired as kind of weary. Grateful to get rest as I have chores to catch up on tomorrow!

Grateful for the wonderful people who post here. ♥

Grateful for the cool down in weather, hopefully helping the wildfires. The smoke is so thick, you can't see very far. Grateful for the volunteers, esp the inmates who fight these catastrophic fires.

Grateful for my dog Luke and his being such a good walking companion, although he's getting older too.

Grateful that I don't have to think about my future today.

Grateful that I'm finally feeling peace about Jack's death and not that sharp stab of pain. Grateful that time is a great healer.
